Question 2: Telomeres

Answer:

The end caps that protect chromosomes. As we age, telomeres shorten and eventually cell division stops.

Question 3: T Lymphocytes

Answer:

Form in the thymus and lymphatic tissue and attack cancer cells, viruses, and foreign substances.

Question 4: Health Psychology

Answer:

A subfield of psychology that provides psychology's contribution to behavioural medicine. Integrates and applies behavioural and medical knowledge to health and disease. Contributes to the prevention and treatment of illnesses.

Question 5: Left Frontal Lobe (Emotion)

Answer:

Joy and positive emotions causes increased activity in the left frontal lobe.

Question 6: Depression (Coronary Heart Disease)

Answer:

The risk of death from cardiovascular disease is substantially increased among those with symptoms of depression. Heart disease and depression may both result when chronic stress triggers persistent inflammation.

Question 7: Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion

Answer:

The theory that an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers physiological responses and the subjective experience of emotion. Arousal and emotion occur simultaneously.

Question 8: Coronary Heart Disease

Answer:

The clogging of the vessels that nourish the heart muscle; the leading cause of death in many developed countries. The risk of coronary heart disease is increased by high blood pressure.

Question 9: Oxytocin

Answer:

A stress-moderating hormone released by cuddling and associated with pair-bonding.

Question 10: Stress

Answer:

The process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we appraise as threatening or challenging.Stress arises from both the events and our cognitive appraisal of them.

Question 11: Type A Personality

Answer:

Term for competitive, hard-driving, impatient, verbally aggressive, and anger-prone people. Exposure to stress is likely to inhibit the liver from removing cholesterol and fat from the blood. Type A individuals are susceptible to heart attacks.

Question 12: Anger (Emotion)

Answer:

Anger and fear are both associated with accelerated heart rates.Anger is associated with more right hemisphere activity.

Question 13: B Lymphocytes

Answer:

Form in the bone marrow and release antibodies that fight bacterial infections.

Question 14: Low-Road Pathway (Emotion)

Answer:

The low-road pathway from the thalamus to the amygdala most directly contributes to automatic emotional responses.

Question 15: Stress (AIDS)

Answer:

AIDS is caused by a viral infection spread primarily through the exchange of body fluids. Stress is most likely to speed the progression of HIV to AIDS by inhibiting the production of lymphocytes.

Question 16: Fight or Flight

Answer:

On orders from the cerebral cortex (via the hypothalamus and pituitary gland), the outer part of the adrenal glands secrete the stress hormone cortisol. Stress produces epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal glands into the blood stream.

Question 17: Sympathetic Nervous System (Emotion)

Answer:

Arouses the body and mobilizes energy in emotionally stressful situations.

Question 18: Prefrontal Cortex (Emotion)

Answer:

Disgust causes increased activity in the right prefrontal cortex. Delight causes increased activity in the left prefrontal cortex.

Question 19: Gender Differences (Emotion)

Answer:

Compared with men, women are better at detecting the emotions of two people having a discussion over lunch. Compared with men, women demonstrate greater empathy.

Question 20: Task Performance (Emotion)

Answer:

Task performance is best when physiological arousal is moderate.The level of arousal typically associated with peak performances tend to be higher on well learned tasks.

Question 21: Guilty-Knowledge Test

Answer:

A test used to assess a suspect's responses to details of a crime.Research on the accuracy of lie detector tests indicates that they err about one-third of the time.

Question 22: Robert Zajonc

Answer:

Sometimes emotions precede cognition. The most rapid and automatic emotional responses may result from the routing of sensory input through the thalamus directly to the amygdala (low road pathway).

Question 23: James-Lange Theory of Emotion

Answer:

The theory that our experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological responses to emotion-arousing stimuli. Arousal comes before emotion.

Question 24: Type B Personality

Answer:

Term for easygoing and relaxed people. In their classic 9 year study, Friedman and Rosenman found that compared with Type A men, Type B men were less susceptible to heart attacks.

Question 25: Polygraph

Answer:

Measures the changes in breathing, cardiovascular activity, and perspiration that accompany emotion.Used for lie detection. A problem with the polygraph is that anxiety, irritation, and guilt feelings all prompt similar physiological reactivity.
